On January 10, 2012, just start posting in this blog, I selected some images of this artist, specifically four from his series "Sexual Color" which I found fantastic. Two years later I checked out his website and I found this other very interesting series. So here's a new post with more information about Gabriel and his new creations.

As I commented in the previous post, Gabriel Wickbold is a photographer from Vila Nova Conceição, São Paulo, Brazil. Very young, has developed a meteoric career in image. His series "Sexual Color" made ​​him very popular in Internet. In this case a selection of his new work, a series of images he grouped under the title of "Naïve".

In this essay, "Naïve", Gabriel focuses images on the human head. At the end is in the head, or better said, in the brain, where focuse rational and imaginary thoughts, those that make possible stories and cause amazing trips. It is in the head, the place of the cranium, where "install" and concentrate ideas, emotions, and attitudes are generated and tensions of our existence unchains. Also the state of happiness.

In the portraits presented in this series "Naïve" , Gabriel performed a sophisticated creation process. First paint specific head portions of the model, to cause the appearance of thickness and texture on the skin. Next, after drying, cracked layers appear as a result of the little human movements. Then, after this stage, it is sometimes necessary to polish the excesses and add elements found in nature. The reference (man and nature) becomes a strange being and the process seeks to emphasize the close relationship between life and art.

This is an open art blog, so you could find images eventually offensive or umconfortable.
